Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0637083A1] A semiconductor device formed on a semiconductor chip includes a signal processing unit composed of a plurality of signal processing cells arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and a plurality of input/output cells each connected to a corresponding one of the signal processing cells in a one-to-one relation. The signal processing unit is located near to one corner of the semiconductor chip, and the input/output cells are uniformly distributed and located along two sides defining the above mentioned corner. Each of the signal processing cells is configured to make it possible that a wiring conductor connecting between the signal processing cell and a corresponding one of the input/output cells is taken out either in an upward vertical direction or in a downward vertical direction from the signal processing cell, in accordance with the side of the semiconductor chip along which the corresponding input/output cell is located. <IMAGE>
